reiser4 grub patch

reiser4 grub patch

[luc]

Hi,

i have a big trouble with the grub with reiser4 patch. Look here:

./install.sh:

grub> root (hd0,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd0)
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
 Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"...  15 sectors are 
embedded.
succeeded
 Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+15 p 
(hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage /boot/grub/menu.lst"... failed
                                                        should be 
stage2  ^^^^^^


without reiser4 patch works perfectly

is it grub 0.97?

have you taken the patched grub from our ftp or patched it by yourself?

have you installed the grub or testing it all in the source dir?
do not forget that new fs images should be put into /boot/grub/, otherwise 
you are trying old images with new grub.

reiser4 fs seems to be not involved into that installation process, am I 
correct that an fs grub source sits on, /, (hd0,0), other used fs are not 
reiser4 ones?

which files do you have in (hd0,0)/boot/grub/?

I posted this bug already on the grub bug tracking system, but I think 
they ignored it there... i think it's not a bug of the patch but a bug 
of grub or the gcc optimization.

Vitaly, lots of people are having trouble with the grub patch, please
investigate.  See later email about gcc version also.

I'm running gentoo with reiser4 on /, I tried once grub with r4 patch (it  
was for a while in portage but was removed), everything was fine, but once  
I tried building openoffice2 from source, it's a whole lot of files and it  
takes forever, when I rebootet my machine with all the source code  
unpacked grub stoped working, I had to boot with livecd and remove  
openoffice source files to make it work again. I went back to /boot on  
ext2.
